Houston hasn't had much trouble moving the ball through the air against the Saints. It hasn't helped the Saints' cause that cornerback Mike McKenzie didn't suit up for the game and cornerbacks Randall Gay has left the game with an apparent injury to his right arm and Usama Young was taken to the locker room with an undetermined ailment.

The Texans, who lead the Saints 17-13 in the second quarter, have racked up 201 passing yards.
